Book Description

Excerpt from Solutions of the Examples in an Elementary Treatise on Conic Sections It is hoped that the following Solutions of the Examples in my Treatise on Conic Sections will he of use to teachers, many of whom can ill afford time to write out detailed solutions of the questions which prove too difficult for their pupils; and that it will also be of service to those students who read the subject without the assistance of a teacher. The solutions will, I trust, be found sufficiently full and clear. In some cases more than one solution is given. My thanks are due to several of my friends, and particularly to Mr S. L. Loney, to Mr J. Barnard and to Rev. H. T. Lewis, for their kindness in reading the proof sheets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
